George Michael performs at Olympic Closing Ceremony

George Michael owned the stage as he performed at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday 12 August.

George Michael performed 'Freedom '90' at the event. He then followed it up with 'White Light' in front of an estimated global audience of one billion.

George Michael later faced accusations that he was trying to plug his new single 'White Light' using the Olympics Closing Ceremony. Clearing up reports, George took to Twitter: "Had a great time at the closing! I hope you are not bothered by the press reports of my scandalous 'promotion'. It was my one chance on TV to thank you all for your loyalty and prayers, and I took it. And I don’t regret it."
